Every spring

Leadership Fairfax is proud to present this popular event, bringing together Fairfax County and regional leaders for a conversation with the Board of Supervisors on the state of the county. Get an "under the tent" peek at what is going on in each supervisory district and inside info from the top executives in the county. We will also honor an outstanding community steward with the Katherine K. Hanley Award for Public Service.

every June

We complete each program year with a joint commencement celebration for our Emerging Leaders Institute and Leadership Fairfax Institute cohorts. Held outdoors at Reston Town Center we feature a distinguished keynote speaker and present the Torchbearer Awards to alumni volunteers who have gone above and beyond in their support of Leadership Fairfax. Stay tuned for sponsorship and ticket details.
